Joe, Dan, Dwight, littlebird, Zokissima, lilBear, David, Thanks for the nice comments. Much appreciated.
lilBear, for the scales, I first painted it an overall dark green, then mixed in some yellow & dry brushed. When that was dry, I drybrushed again, very sparingly, with pure yellow. Touched up any areas where I got overly enthusiastic with the dry brushing. No washes were used. This technique works well if you have a good casting to work with.
David & Zokissima, I like the Vallejo acrylics very much. They are very opague, especially the whites & yellows. Flow well, cover very well, brush marks level out very nicely & dry dead flat. Water thinning & clean up works well. For small figures they are the best available IMHO. I also use them for painting detail in AC cockpits. For larger figures I prefer to work in oils, but have seen some large figures painted with Vallejo that looked great. BTW, they are also sold under the Andrea label. Identical paint with different packaging.
David, would like to oblige but I've got plenty to keep me busy
